a crowd of gawkers?
I just ignore them, which is another skill that takes practice.

The dock angels I don't mind
Maybe they really are angels. Read Ray Bradbury's "The Crowd" Bradbury
might endorse a theory that these gawkers are all spirits of lubbers who
were killed in dock related accidents.

We see the same people all the time, every fire scene. They all look like
suspects. They look catatonic . . . You could arrest a lot of these people
just on looks alone. [3]


Sounds like the boatyard crew when we fire up the chiminea!
